From: Johan Hedberg <johan.hedberg@xxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 045309820afe047920a50de25634dab46a1e851d. That commit is wrong for two reasons: - The conn->sec_level should be updated without performing authentication first (as it's supposed to represent the level of security that the existing connection has) - A higher auth_type value doesn't mean "more secure" like the commit seems to assume. E.g. dedicated bonding with MITM protection is 0x03 whereas general bonding without MITM protection is 0x04. hci_conn_auth already takes care of updating conn->auth_type so hci_connect doesn't need to do it.
